An interpreter could be deported from Scotland after admitting having a rammy with paramedics.
Sam Sari, 49, lost control while the ambulance workers were dealing with him in Glasgow.
The Palestinian behaved aggressively towards paramedics in Kent Road, near the city's Charing Cross, in December last year.
He shouted and swore at them, grabbed their equipment and pushed Alastair Oliphant on the body.
He also lashed out with his hands and feet, causing his feet to strike paramedic Ann Cook.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court yesterday Sari pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting, obstructing or hindering them, in breach of Section 1(1) of the Emergency Workers (Scotland) Act 2005.
Defence lawyer Stephen Grady told Sheriff Jonathan Guy: "The matter to which he has pled guilty will result in a deportation if he is convicted.
"He is a professional interpreter. I would ask you not to proceed to conviction today."
He said he may ask for an absolute discharge to be granted on the next occasion, which means the matter does not count as a conviction despite the offender admitting breaking the law.
After hearing that Sari was suffering from a mental condition, which was not named in court, and mental stress at the time of the offence, the sheriff adjourned the case for background reports to be prepared.
The court heard Sari, of Govanhill, Glasgow, had previously been granted an absolute discharge in another case, for an unrelated offence.
Government records show Sari is the Director of Glasgow-based firm SMS Interpreter Services LTD.
